Han, Huajun (2020-07-27)The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that binds and senses cues from promiscuous ligands including environmental toxicants and dietary/microbiota-derived ...
-
Chamakura, Karthik Reddy (2017-05-08)mall lytic phages compelled by the same evolutionary pressures as large dsDNA phages have evolved mechanisms to lyse their hosts efficiently and at optimal times to ensure maximum fecundity. The ssDNA Microviridae and ssRNA ...

Piya, Denish Kumar (2018-08-23)Evolution of phages and their bacterial hosts are directed by interaction between phage and host-encoded factors. These interactions have resulted in the development of several defense and counter-defense strategies such ...
-
Zhang, Kailun (2021-04-19)Recently, more attention has been raised in regard to the study of bacteria-infecting viruses or bacteriophages for a number of reasons. First, they serve as new weapons against antibiotic-resistant pathogens. In addition, ...
-
Harb, Laith Abdelqader (2022-03-17)Bacteriophages are being reevaluated for their therapeutic potential, however, the pathways and mechanisms guiding genome transfer from the phage capsid to the host cytoplasm, a critical step in the phage infection cycle, ...
-
Farber, Charles B (2021-09-02)By the year 2050, the world’s population may exceed 9.8 billion, requiring 70% more food than we currently produce. Increased frequency of droughts and floods, spread of agricultural pests and pathogens, and application ...
-
Chen, Yi (2016-08-01)Most of the large, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) bacteriophages infecting Gram-negative hosts utilize multi-protein strategy to lyse the three layers of the host cell envelop: the inner membrane (IM), the peptidoglycan (PG), ...
-
Allen, Brooke Ashley (2019-08-28)Defects in sialylation cause numerous human pathologies including heart disease, cancer, immune system dysfunction, and neurological abnormalities. However, the pathological mechanisms of these disorders and regulation of ...
